It is supposed to be spring. I must admit the weather here in Ottawa is leaving a little bit to be desired. It is going up and down like a yo-yo. At the end of February it was positively balmy and now that it is mid April we have been getting snow and freezing rain. In Yellowknife, it is predictably freezing cold for much of the year. But with a good coat and a pair of mukluks, you are pretty well set for venturing outdoors.

Today it was so crappy I could barely take Saydee for a walk. Schools were closed, power lines and tree branches were down and many homes were without power. I literally had to drop my poochie off at the park and waited by - no hung on to the car as the wind was gusting at about 60km hour. I did, however, think it was beautiful. The trees were all glistening with ice as were the roads. A good day for a photo shoot then. So off we went in search of beauty amidst the chaos.

I probably could have used Fuji's new XH1 with in body image stabilization as I wasn't too sure on my feet.

I was fortunate to attend Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky’s new Exhibition: Anthropocene at the National Gallery of Canada. Anthropocene is proposed as a new geological epoch, “defined by massive changes that has occurred to the planet and its ecosystems as a result of human activity.”
